I just thought about this...does Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Gladys Knight get credit for having a number one song with, "That's What Friends Are For"? Not according to Whitburn’s Top Pop Singles. “That’s What Friends Are For” isn’t counted towards Stevie Wonder’s nine #1s or Elton John’s eight #1s. |

Chaka Khan should also be featured on Stephen Bishop's "Save It For A Rainy Day". Also Chicago's "Take Me Back To Chicago" though it didn't make the Top 40.

Then I submit that Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Gladys Knight all should have been given "featured" credit. They were as much of that song as Dionne was. |

Some others:
You’re a Friend of Mine-Clarence Clemons AND Jackson Browne on the record; since Daryl Hannah also did backing vocals, she could have been a “Featuring” act as well.
Woman in Chains-Tears for Fears featuring Oletta Adams and Phil Collins (on drums only); but Phil should have gotten a featuring nod in a very drummy “I Know There’s Something Going On-Frida” (He also had the backing vocals plus the drums for this one.)
Emotion-Samantha Sang featuring Barry Gibb

Heaven Help Me--Deon Estus and George Michael
State of Shock--The Jacksons and Mick Jagger (Casey's always mentioned Mick, but the Billboard credit doesn't include him)
I'll Be Your Everything--Tommy Page and New Kids On The Block
And considering how little some artists need to contribute to get a featured credit for now, Grandmaster Melle Mel should have one for Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" and Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, and Kim Basinger should have them for "Batdance."

Not according to Whitburn’s Top Pop Singles. “That’s What Friends Are For” isn’t counted towards Stevie Wonder’s nine #1s or Elton John’s eight #1s. But yet when AT40 did their compilations for their Rock n Roll Triathlon special in 1988 (in which you had to have hit the Top 40 in the 1960's and 1970's and hit the Top 10 in the 1980's) "That's What Friends Are For" was obviously counted since that's the only Top Ten from that decade that Gladys appeared on and she was counted (of course they played the non Top 10 "Love Overboard"). |

Speaking of horns:
BeeYatch Is Back- Elton John, Dusty Springfield and Tower Of Power Horns
Too Much Heaven- Bee Gees & Chicago Horn Section
While we're on The Bee Gees the umpteen songs Barry guested on for numerous people. As my Bee Gees Special countdown proved, also Robin and Maurice, just to a lesser extent.

Diamonds - Herb Alpert featuring Janet Jackson Good call on this one. It actually should be both Janet Jackson and Lisa Keith. I believe the same goes for the follow up single (which we will hear on this week's '87 show) "Making Love In the Rain". |

And here's a pre-AT40 one I recently learned about: Ramblin' Gamblin' Man - Bob Seger System featuring Glenn Frey Bob Seger had another song featuring Eagles vocalists: "Fire Lake" from 1980. Since we seem to be on a roll here, how about "Magnet and Steel" by Walter Egan with Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham... And for that matter, John Stewart's "Gold" also features Stevie Nicks on backing vocals. |
